Every time I go to open the forge installer it shows this. I have uninstalled Java SE (the latest version) multiple times and each time it has worked, however when it comes to opening the Forge installer I get this message. Anyone have any ideas on what is going on?

I used this video

How exactly did you install Java? When does this error occur?

I used the video above

Why on earth are you watching a video on how to install Java?!

Because there are extra steps involved. Such as changing the environmental variables in which isn't so obvious. Besides the video was just to show you on how I did it which is easily explained in the video.  Anyway, could you help me with the issue?

Not necessary. All you need to install Java is run the installer. I am not going to watch that video... Please provide a URL that you use to download Java.

This is the link I've seen used in guides. The one needed to install Forge mods

You installed Java 12 I just noticed. Forge needs Java 8.

Ah, thank you. I will try again tomorrow and hopefully it works. I'll let you know if it does.

Installed Java 8, didn't work. Same error message.

I fixed it. I downloaded more Java files and it eventually worked. Thanks anyway.
